My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

Tang Xianxian came wearing a face scarf like a fairy.

White clothes fluttering,

Long hair flowing.

The step on the head sways slightly,

There was also a Xiangfei fan in her hand, which she was gently waving.

Behind her followed the maid named An and two black-armored warriors carrying food boxes!

She seemed to see Bai Shaoqiu standing in the pavilion from afar. She paused, her face lit up with joy, and then she started walking again, even faster.

After entering the watchtower pavilion in the middle of the lake, she came to the opposite side of Bai Shaoqiu, smiling, and said:

"I thought you would stay in Zhuxi after winning the championship, but I didn't expect you to run away so quickly..."

"Is it urgent?"

Bai Shaoqiu smiled slightly and nodded:

"Isn't it just for that little bit of silver that you work so hard to be the champion?"

"I've been so poor these past few years, and all I want is to make some money. I'll feel at ease if I can pocket it sooner rather than later."

Tang Xianxian raised her eyebrows and waved her hand, and the two black-armored warriors placed the food box on the table.

"So you haven't eaten yet?"

"This really doesn't exist."

"That's perfect. I brought a lot, so let's eat together."

"It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"

An Chenyin took three breaths and walked over to open the food box, then placed the food in the box on the table one by one.

Stand back,

She looked at Bai Shaoqiu opposite her, then at the Ninth Princess in front of her, thinking that it was obvious that the Ninth Princess had originally planned to entertain Bai Shaoqiu in Zhuxi.

But this guy just ran away!

It was the Ninth Princess who foresaw the situation and asked Commander Zhao to come back first to say hello to the academy's gatekeeper.

The two black-armored warriors turned around and retreated, guarding the entrance of the Nine-Curved Corridor.

If you want to eat, you have to take off the mask and you can see the true face of this fairy girl.

Bai Shaoqiu didn't think about this, he was really hungry.

I am quite familiar with this fairy girl. In fact, the two of us are now partners in this gambling.

He took the bowl and chopsticks, and was suddenly surprised: "Rice... no?"

"Yes, in the bamboo tube."

“…Bamboo rice?”

"dislike?"

"No, no, no, I like it very much."

Bai Shaoqiu never thought that he could eat bamboo tube rice.

He happily took out a bamboo tube, untied the cotton thread, and split the bamboo tube into two. A fresh bamboo fragrance mixed with the sweet rice fragrance came to his nose.

He poured the rice into the bowl and whetted his appetite!

This dish is also very exquisite.

A dish of braised bamboo shoots.

A dish of wild mushrooms in chicken sauce.

A dish of braised pheasant.

There is also a steamed stream fish dish.

Bai Shaoqiu didn't hesitate and ate with relish.

Tang Xianxian was confused for a moment. She was hungry too!

After thinking about it, I decided that we would meet again even if Bai Shaoqiu went to Kyoto.

It’s better to meet sooner!

So she reached out and took off the face cloth.

Bai Shaoqiu just looked up and was startled. He quickly lowered his head again and continued... eating chicken!

He had not expected this fairy girl to be so bright and charming——

This doesn't mean that he is indifferent to this fairy girl just because he has Lazy in his heart.

Any normal man would appreciate a beautiful girl.

But he couldn't appreciate the girl in front of him!

"Should I call you His Highness... or should I call you Xianxian?"

Tang Xianxian was startled, "You know my identity?"

"It's not hard to guess."

Bai Shaoqiu's cheeks puffed up, and he said:

"Actually... a few days ago, when I came to the library to read, Dean Zhang was saying that there was an important person here. That night, a girl appeared under the knowledge wall, and there was a black-armored warrior with a sword."

"That's when I knew you were extraordinary."

"After I proposed this bet, you quickly had Jubao Bank set the odds..."

"If I don't know your identity, then I'd be really stupid."

An walked over and served Tang Xianxian some bamboo tube rice. He then looked at Bai Shaoqiu. This guy actually had some good eyesight.

But now that he knew that the person in front of him was Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, his reaction seemed different from others!

He still sat there so calmly, even as unrestrained as before!

He stood up and saluted without any panic.

Even the address is "Girl", not "Her Royal Highness"!

But Her Royal Highness the Princess was not at all displeased. She did not call herself "this palace" but used the word "I".

These two people are really interesting.

Unfortunately, Bai Shaoqiu is the son-in-law of the royal family, so the princess’ wish cannot be fulfilled.

Tang Xianxian picked up some food and ate. After a moment, she suddenly smiled:

"I thought she told you."

"She? Which she?"

"Ah, I mean the princess."

After a pause, Tang Xianxian picked up another piece of bamboo shoots with chopsticks, raised her eyes, and asked:

"Do you want to call me Your Highness the Ninth Princess? Or do you want to call me Fairy Fairy?"

"Well... you called me Xianxian when we first met, so I'll call you Xianxian in private. But you are the Ninth Princess of Xingguo after all. With outsiders around, I still need to follow some rules."

Tang Xianxian burst out laughing.

She rolled her eyes at Bai Shaoqiu unconsciously: "I thought you were not a person who followed the rules."

"Well...after all, I still respect the imperial power."

Having said this, Bai Shaoqiu quickly changed the subject: "Do you know how much money I lost in this bet?"

Tang Xianxian curled her lips: "Mr. Fang said that you love money like your life, it's really true."

"Brother Fang knows me well!"

Bai Shaoqiu didn't deny it, he smiled again:

"Money is not everything, but without money, nothing can be done!"

Tang Xianxian covered her mouth and laughed again, "You are right!"

"There's no other way. If The Story of the Stone is to become a book, I have to give it my all."

"My wife hasn't come back yet, and I don't know if she'll change her attitude towards me if I win..."

"I don't mean that she would accept me as her husband. I mean whether she would give me a little extra pocket money."

"It's never a good idea to ask a woman for this kind of thing. It would be easier to do anything if you have a few in your pocket."

"Your Highness is a royal family, how could he understand the suffering of a commoner like me?"

Tang Xianxian raised her eyes and said, "We agreed to call me Xianxian in private."

"...Okay, Miss Xianxian, just tell me how much silver I can get."

"and many more."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for Manager Qian to come over."

"it is good!"

Song Zigui ran away. Xingguo is so big that it is probably impossible to find him.

The ten thousand taels of silver were gone.

His Highness is here!

She really did keep her promise!

He also called the storekeeper Qian over. This money won’t fly away again, right?

Bai Shaoqiu enjoyed his meal.

Tang Xianxian watched him eat voraciously.

Soon, all the dishes were eaten up. Bai Shaoqiu took a towel and wiped his mouth, very satisfied with the lunch.

An cleaned the table, made a pot of tea, and stood behind Tang Xianxian.

Tang Xianxian became a little nervous at this time.

"Will you still go to the Xiangshan Literary Festival next autumn?"

“This one has to go.”

"...Just to ask Father to retract that imperial decree?"

"Um,"

Bai Shaoqiu nodded: "Although it is good to lean on the big tree of the palace to enjoy the shade, marriage is not as simple as just enjoying the shade."

"How can I tell you?"

"I'm not a casual person."

"A position of power is of no use to me."

"In my life... all I want is a few ounces of silver, a true love, and a simple, peaceful life. That's what I really want."

Tang Xianxian's heart suddenly tightened: "Then... do you have someone you love?"

Bai Shaoqiu grinned: "Thank goodness, I met someone like her. I think she's pretty good."

"...Lazy?"

Bai Shaoqiu was stunned: "Do you know him?"

"Ah, I've heard of it."

"She's famous?"

"I met her once, she's a...good girl."

An thought that Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess had finally given up, but unexpectedly Tang Xianxian sat up straight, looked directly at Bai Shaoqiu, and said something that made her stand there in a daze:

"However, if the emperor really retracts the imperial edict, I will seize you as my consort... What will you choose?"
